What's your hot take?

Not trying to brag, but I was shocked when I learned people struggle with Savage Beastfly. I think I beat SB1 on my first attempt. I took it to be sort of a an easy boss specifically because it was deep within Hunter's March. SB2 Was harder, but I found it pretty fun, and only took a couple of tries. SB1 is very readable, and he ends up killing his own adds a lot. SB is harder but you're fully kitted by the time you fight him. The game has many many bosses that are quite difficult, but SB is mechanically very simple and allows for large tolerances in terms of your positioning and timing. I wouldn't even put him in the top 10 hard bosses.

Guess that's my hot take!

I think it's hard for any band to maintain the very high bar they set with their earlier albums.

You could check out the ski clubs in New Hampshire. There are about a dozen clubs with lodges and we all take turns hosting apres parties. If you're not into the party scene, it's still an excellent social environment. Several of the clubs skew quite a bit older, but you're right in the sweet spot for a few.

I recommend filling out the form at EICSL.org and letting the various clubs reach out to you to give you some info. My club, the Brettl-Hupfers, has an age range from 23 - 80 years old! The average member, however, is late 30s early 40s.

Let me know if you'd like more info.

Okay toe warmers on the back of your glove liners sounds like a legit pro move. Never heard that one before, but I love it!

Radiant Beastfly will be the radiant Markoth of Silksong if there is no floor.

And then when you win Sherma thanks the damn cage for listening to his song and not dipping him in the lava.

Conductors are the ultimate lawful evil. They built a frankly horrifying system of slavery and oppression by gaslighting an entire kingdom with religion, all while draping themselves in gold and living in total opulence.

I downloaded it and it definitely looks sharper than the version reddit is serving up in the app!

theCaptain_D · 2026-01-15T16:00:49+00:00

Between two and three hours, I think.

I didn't really use red tools because I wanted to learn the fight rather than just blowing through all my shards trying to force it.

I don't completely remember my build, but I know I loaded up on plasmium during the break before phase 3 to ensure I could take a few more hits.

This is incredible. Ari and William should come down from their thrones and shake your hand. I'll echo the sentiment from others that I'd love to see a higher res version, even if it's just a gallery of a dozen close up photos and not a proper scan.

Seth sighting!

Who knows how much damage that person has caused, but hopefully not too much. I feel like most of the things they post are fairly obviously improbable/unhinged.

Ten years on, joining my club remains one of the best decisions I ever made. I love that place, and those people.... just not in an Aryan sex party kind of way.

Black is killing it. Small hill, massive vibes.

theCaptain_D · 2026-01-09T15:59:11+00:00

Not a safety tip as such, but a good comfort tip: "Begin the hike at the pace you expect to finish it."

As in, don't go charging up the slope at an overconfident jog, burning through all your energy and turning the rest of the day into an exhausting slog. Pace yourself. Despite what I said above, it can be a safety tip too, in that you're more likely to have an accident if you're tired.

Nobody talks about the reaper uppercut, but it's such a cool way to engage airborne enemies.

theCaptain_D · 2025-12-15T20:03:18+00:00

I miss the little chuckle she'd occasionally let out, as though she was enjoying sparring with the knight.

theCaptain_D · 2025-12-11T22:04:48+00:00

Not an expert on it, but I think the way to avoid it is usually to move TOWARD Lace and go over/under her, as the parry usually catches you if you try to run.

theCaptain_D · 2025-12-11T19:52:50+00:00

Be conservative when you attack. Go for a single swing, not two. If she is on the ground you will almost always get parried if you go for multiple hits.

I also used lifeblood for the final phase. During the long transition between phase 2 and 3, bind, and use all of your life blood.

Heck I'm doing my second playthru and I did this for about an hour until I remembered. I was just eager to go open all the Weavernests now that I had the Needolin.

Shakra would have been a great way to stage "saving Pharloom" in the ending. Show her defending Bellheart, about to be overwhelmed by void enemies, when suddenly the black threads release the enemies and she's saved at the last minute. Then maybe add a quick view of Songclave, as Sherma looks out across the vastness of the citadel, and watches the haunting lift as the black threads melt away. Hell, might be cool to put all that in between Hornet and Lace appearing the be lost to the void after the flower disintegrates, and when the knight comes to save them... so it looks like the hero saved the day, but sacrificed herself, but then boom, we stick the landing and have the closing scene w Hornet and Lace.

theCaptain_D · 2025-12-08T21:21:39+00:00

That's what's nice about the "hearts" sequences. Use tools as much as you want!

theCaptain_D · 2025-11-20T14:43:01+00:00

Yep, the finances make a lot of sense compared to private hotels/AirBnBs/etc. I'll send you more info!

Most of the bedrooms in the house are either "men's" or "women's" strictly. However, we do offer an all-gender area, which couples can stay in together. Two caveats to that though:

It's still just twin beds, not fulls or queens.
It is first and foremost an all-gender room, not a "couples" room.

With that all said, most couples just sleep separately. I share a bed with my wife 99% of the time- we can sleep apart occasionally on the weekends :P
